Buffalo, New York, June 22, 2009— Lorica Solutions (www.loricasolutions.com), the leader in converged managed networks to the hospitality industry, is very pleased to have deployed the Lorica Room Center (LRC) at the newly built M Resort in Las Vegas.

M Resort is a striking tower with 390 rooms and suites, with more than 92,000 square feet of gaming space, 60,000 square feet of conference space, a 23,000 square foot spa, salon and exercise area, the 100,000 square foot Villaggio Del Sole pool and entertainment Piazza as well as nine dining outlets and five destination bars and lounges.  Behind the striking waterfalls, terraces and luxurious guest suites with vistas of the Las Vegas strip, lies a state-of-the-art converged network powered by Lorica Solutions.

Lorica Solutions is the developer of the Lorica Room Center, the only fully managed converged network specifically designed for the hospitality industry. The Lorica Room Center acts as a communications hub and monitoring node for all in-room devices, enabling new technologies like HDTV while providing proactive monitoring and support from Lorica’s 24x7 Network Operations Center and Help Desk.

Rob Willis, Vice President of Information Technology for M Resort comments, “We selected the Lorica Room Center for M Resorts for a number of very compelling reasons.  We wanted a converged network that could support multiple applications, from VoIP telephones to our door locks, minibars and high-speed Internet access (HSIA).  Lorica’s product supports all of that and the cost savings of running a single converged pipe to the guest rooms was terrific.  Having the HSIA access points directly on the LRC’s gives us great wireless density to support guest Internet access, and we especially liked the LRC’s hot swap feature, that makes replacement and maintenance very simple.” 

“M Resort is an amazing new property in Las Vegas, and we are honored and very happy to be working with Rob and his team”, said Mark Holzberg, Chairman and CEO of Lorica. 

“In addition to providing a better, more cost effective way to manage and monitor all the applications required in the guest room, the Lorica Room Center also makes it easier to make upgrades and changes, helping to future proof properties”, added Holzberg. “So, over the years to come, when M Resort wants to add new features to maintain its cutting edge reputation, the Lorica Room Center can easily accommodate those needs”.
